.............without actually meeting them. That, for me, has been
the one most unexpected, yet valuable, return on my blogging
investment.
Jeff Kopito publishes the View From the Ledge blog. I have
been a faithful follower since first being led there eighteen months
ago. Jeff is a cancer survivor. That experience, of which he has
shared bits hand pieces in various posts, has colored his world.
Jeff starts his latest post, "It’s time I came clean." He has
been volunteering:
"As part of their support program, they match me up with newly diagnosed cancer patients who have had the same clinical diagnosis and similar treatment plan as I did. These patients or caregivers can then begin contact so we can walk thru the process of treatment and recovery together. There I can provide support and guidance in this frightening landscape in real-time, with a real voice."
The notion of supporting cancer patients has become his vision
and his mission. Naturally, he has created a second blog,
GettingCancer {get (v.) - to acquire, understand, confront}
Cancer is a very personal and intimate disease. And most likely the most devastating diagnosis you will ever receive. I hope to relieve that burden. And provide for you what I can.
I am proud of you Jeff. Thanks for being there.
